[Flashcoders] Shifting points 90 degrees
Hey all, I'm using the tutorial on building a carousel from gotoandlearn.com as the basis of one that has a few more things it can do. I'm having trouble with the placement of items on the circle at the beginning. The angle is derived with: t.angle = i * ((Math.PI * 2) / numOfItems); The x and y coords are derived with: t._x = Math.cos(t.angle) * radiusX + centerX; t._y = Math.sin(t.angle) * radiusY + centerY; This starts the placement of the items on the circle starting at 3 o'clock(east), whereas I would like them to start at 6 o'clock(south). How would I go about adding 90 degrees to the initial placement? Cheers.

RE: [Flashcoders] Shifting points 90 degrees
Through playng about, I've come up with changing: t.angle = i * ((Math.PI * 2) / numOfItems); to: t.angle = (i * ((Math.PI * 2) / numOfItems)) + (Math.PI * .5); Adding 90 degrees to all items.

RE: [Flashcoders] Image resizer that maintains ratio
Yup, sorry for being vague. It's the maintaining of the ratio while the user resizes that I'm after. A user uploads an image, I load this image into a container and force it to fit into a maximum and minimum width and height. Within this container the user can resize the image without expanding out of the container and all the time maintaining the original ratio. The resizing will be done by dragging an anchor point like this: http://www.adrianlynch.co.uk/temp/resizer.gif I have it working but it allows the image to be resized anyway the user chooses. I also need to make the anchor stick to the bottom right hand corner of the image. I think I will work this out eventually but I wanted to see if there was anything out there already that I could glean some ideas from. Thanks.

That will effectively mask out the shape of the piece, but will perform a lot better than using a vector mask, as it will have modified the image, rather than apply the mask each time the screen area gets redrawn. Jigsaw puzzle pieces are likely quite small as vector graphics, so you might want to keep them as vector assets and then create the alphaBitmapData objects at runtime, as you need them. If you really want to generate the shape pieces dynamically, you could divide the image into rectangles (or randomly varying quadrilaterals, to keep it interesting), then have a selection of nobbly bits you could randomly choose to add or remove from each side of the pieces.

[Flashcoders] MC Tween
I'm using MC Tween on some navigation blocks. Three blocks on top of each other, they start out equal in side, when you click on one, it opens up and the others close up. This involves tweening the clip's height and y coord. It works great for basic MCs(see the good link below), but when I change it so that the height change is applied to a nested MC it goes all screwy.

I'm using MC Tween on some navigation blocks. Three blocks on top of each
other, they start out equal in side, when you click on one, it opens up
and
the others close up.
This involves tweening the clip's height and y coord. It works great for
basic MCs(see the good link below), but when I change it so that the
height
change is applied to a nested MC it goes all screwy.
Does anyone know of a problem with using this library in relation to
nested
MCs.
There's no problem with the library in relation to nested MCs. The problem
with your code on nested MCs is that instead of applying the code to the
nested MCs all the time - like you did with the 'un-nested' version - you're
applying it sometimes to the MC itself, and sometimes to the nested MCs.
Like increasing the _height of the parent MC but then decreasing the height
of the parent MC.
Think about it this way: forget about mc tween for a while. Instead of
applying _y and _height tweens, directly apply values to the properties, as
in
navBlock3._y = 200;
Will it work? In your second case, the nested FLA, it won't, no matter what
extension you use, because there are reference problems. So before thinking
of fixing problems on the animation, see if your movieclip references are
correct. The tween() function works just like assigning values to the
properties - so if the references themselves are wrong, there's no way it's
gonna work.
Anyways, this is your 'nested' code:
navBlock1.onPress = function() {
if ( this.state == 1 || this.state == 2 ) {
this.tween(_height, STATE_HEIGHTS[3], TWEEN_TIME);
this.state = 3;
trace(closing + 2 + and + 3);
navBlock2.navBlockBG.tween(_height, STATE_HEIGHTS[1], 2);
navBlock2.state = 1;
navBlock3.navBlockBG.tween(_height, STATE_HEIGHTS[1], 2);
navBlock3.state = 1;
navBlock2.tween(_y, 150, TWEEN_TIME);
navBlock3.tween(_y, 200, TWEEN_TIME);
}
};
Notice you're changing the _height of the movieclip being expanded itself,
but when resetting the other two movieclips, you're changing the height of
the inner movie. This won't work; you have to use the inner movie or the
outer movie for both.
So instead, it should be this:
navBlock1.onPress = function() {
if ( this.state == 1 || this.state == 2 ) {
this.navBlockBG.tween(_height, STATE_HEIGHTS[3], TWEEN_TIME);
this.state = 3;
trace(closing + 2 + and + 3);
navBlock2.navBlockBG.tween(_height, STATE_HEIGHTS[1], 2);
navBlock2.state = 1;
navBlock3.navBlockBG.tween(_height, STATE_HEIGHTS[1], 2);
navBlock3.state = 1;
navBlock2.tween(_y, 150, TWEEN_TIME);
navBlock3.tween(_y, 200, TWEEN_TIME);
}
};
Also, the other functions (navBlock2.onPress and navBlock3.onPress) have old
references, from the un-nested file, so you should properly make it tween
the navBlockBG movies instead - properly tweening the _height of your nested
navBlockBG instead of just the parent movieclip. In the end, just around one
sixth of the code of your second FLA is made for tweening the nested MCs, so
it's not gonna work until you go all the way.
Again, you can't mix expect to change the _height of a movieclip and expect
to change it back by resizing its parent or its child - it won't work
properly. If you want to reset the movieclip back, it should reset its own
_height.

[Flashcoders] onPress in nested MC
I know about event hidden, but I've never seen this before...
I have an MC(btn), with a nested MC(innerBtn). On pressing btn, I want to
remove it's onPress so I can get at the inner button's onPress.
Is this possible? I tried onRelease instead but then yields the same
results.
btn.onPress = function() {
// Remove this onPress so we can get at the inner buttons onPress
this.onRelease = null;
};
button.innerBtn.onPress = function() {
trace(this);
};
The onPress is removed in that it doesn't fire after the first press, but
the finger pointer doesn't disappear when I hover anywhere over btn.
Any ideas. I thought I had events sussed!

var Tab_Int_MC = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip(TabMenu_Int,

for (var i = 0; i3; i++) {

TT = this[Tab+i];
TT = Tab_Int_MC[GR_BG_TAB_icon_unselect_theme1_+i];
TT._x = 35*i;
TT._y = 19;
_root.depth++;
Tab_Int_MC.attachMovie(GR_BG_TAB_icon_select_Theme1,
GR_BG_TAB_icon_select_Theme1_+i, _root.depth);
TT_hlt = this[TT_hlt+i];
TT_hlt = Tab_Int_MC[GR_BG_TAB_icon_select_Theme1_+i];
TT_hlt._x = 35*i;
TT_hlt._y = 19;
TT_hlt._visible = false;
TT.onRollOver = function() {
TT_hlt._visible = true;
drawOutline(TT, TL);
};
TT.onRollOut = function() {
TT_hlt._visible = false;
removeOutline(TT._parent.Highlight);
};
TT.onRelease = function() {
DisplayData(TT, xPos, yPos, width, height,

};
}
Can someone help me debug this?

RE: [Flashcoders] relative path issue
You can create your own variable based on:
System.capabilities.playerType
It will be External when in the IDE. Other values include ActiveX,
PlugIn and one other which I can't remember.
So something like:
if (System.capabilities.playerType == External) {
path = ../;
} else {
path = ../../../../../../../;
}

It stands to reason that if onLoad fires with success==false no file was
loaded anyway, so i don't see why you'd need a separate handler for
wether success is false NOW or success is false a little later.
onLoad(success){
if(success){
//handle file load
}else{
//handle error
}
}
I don't see the downside to this approach. Then again, i'm tired and
angry, so i might miss something.

Are you using this:

The extra bit was added by the posters email client(server?). It should be:
link.onRelease = function(){
getURL(mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
};
And that should be in a frame and not on a clip.
Try:
link.onRelease = function(){
// getURL(mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]);

};
What happens?

RE: [Flashcoders] Navigating between labels? Scripting help:
goCheckBackward would be the opposite of goCheckForward:
goCheckForward = function() {
if ( index = max ) { index = 0; }
gotoAndPlay(frames[index]);
trace(frames[index]);
index++;
}
goCheckBackward = function() {
if ( index 1 ) { index = max; }
gotoAndPlay(frames[index]);
trace(frames[index]);
index--;
}
Untested, but looks ok to me.

Hey all...
I need some help with the below code... I am trying to set-up a dynamic
way to jump from label to label on the main timeline of my animation...
Well, here is what I got so far... Still working on it, and it prob is
not optimal, but maybe you all will have some suggestions:
/* Initialize index: */
var index = 1;
/* Declare var frames as an array: */
var frames:Array = new Array();
/* Pop array with scene labels: */
var frames = [scene1, scene2, scene3];
/* Get length of array: */
var max = frames.length;
/* Attach function to forward button: */
_root.forward.onRelease = function() { goCheckForward(); }
/* Attach function to backward button: */
_root.backward.onRelease = function() { goCheckBackward(); }
goCheckForward = function() {
/* If index is = array length, zero-out var index: */
if(index = max) { index = 0; }
gotoAndPlay(frames[index]);
trace(frames[index]);
index++; /* add one to var index */
}
/* Still working on this function... buggy atm. Suggestions? */
goCheckBackward = function() {
index--;

trace(frames[index]);

This works in most cases, but appearantly some swf files do not work correctly (it looks fine at first, but things go bad when using the swf). Even though the parsed file is both in Header as in content equal (to the bit, checked that in filesize and in code) the code behaves differently than the original swf.(for instance when a key is pressed a characters animation will play but won't be moved around). - Now we'r trying to secure a webdirectory (with ModRewrite), to not load swf files when not refered to by our site, but object and embed tags do not pass on a referer in the header, thus blocking all requests or simple not blocking any.

There might be an in-built way to do this, but if not, and you have access
to the html pages, pass in the page name using flashVars.
Or see if running some JavaScript will work:
window.location will return what's in the URL bar. So:
a = theReturnedURL.split(/);
trace(a[a.length - 1]);
should get you the file name.

It's not even a step in the right direction, it's just an excuse to use directx online, and frankly, putting directx online is a shit idea that dilutes the web. Complete and utter cross platform compatibility is a simple absolute that web developers MUST conform to. MS have a history of introducing products that weaken the integrity of the web, and i'm in no way a fan of any sort. The average consumer dictates what technology makes money. This is another truth. It wasnt until recently that Flash became even remotely accepted by the average consumer, and we are only now beginning to reap the true benefits of that acceptance. Sparkle is another hurdle, more noise in the ether. Consumers don't need it, developers don't need it. The only party requiring Sparkle-type-content is the kind of bloated site Flash has been criticized the most for since its inception, and in that regard Sparkle, to me, looks like Flash 4 with polygons and an even more limited user base. The internet reads like a book. This is why it works with smartphones, this is why it works with Nokia series 40 phones, this is why it works with tablets, laptops, desktop computers, and why puretext browsers like lynx are an actual viability. This flat book structure isn't a brick of the establishment to be broken down and destroyed, it isn't a hampering factor, it is a unifying factor. As for games? We have decent 3d online NOW with Shockwave 3d. I've seen a working Unreal tournament in Shockwave with a great framerate and decent AI. It just hasn't taken off, and it probably won't anytime soon. Why? Because it's an aberration. It's an abnormality that confuses and destabilizes. As a gamer, i will never play a game in a browser because that's not what a browser is for. For that i'll hook up my gamecube or pick up my PSP. Putting a technological shove into online 3d is like designing a car that can double as a screwdriver. As much as i dig what MS did with the xbox, Sparkle and the whole 3d kajoozle is just another way for them to integrate the web tighter with their whole crazy Live idea, and it's an ugly thing that messes up for developers and users alike.

If I do the above in sequence, the duped MC's Loader isn't initialised by the time I try to set it's properties'. If I delay using the duped MC's Loader, and instead fire an event that does it, a button click for example, the Loader works fine. I can think of two solutions, but I'm not too sure about them. 1. Set an interval to give the Loader time to get ready and then set the properties. 2. Do the duping, check using an onEnterFrame to see if the nested Loaders properties' exist and then set them. The problem with 1 is, how long is long enough? The problem with 2 is, will I get away with checking one property or will I have to check them all? For example, I can check to see that contentPath is difined, but what if load() isn't? Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

// Show the MC with Loader that we will duplicate below
loaderContainer.loaderToDupe.contentPath = dupe_loader.jpg;
loaderContainer.loaderToDupe.scaleContent = false;
loaderContainer.loaderToDupe.load();
loaderContainer.duplicateMovieClip(newLoaderContainer, 10);
// Defined a function in the yet to be initialised nested Loader
newLoaderContainer.loaderToDupe.whatToDo = function() {
trace(whatDoTo called);
this._x += 50;
this._y += 50;
this.contentPath = dupe_loader.jpg;
this.scaleContent = false;
this.load();
};
// Use the container's oEF to wait for the existence of the loader's doLater
newLoaderContainer.onEnterFrame = function() {
if ( this.loaderToDupe.doLater != undefined ) {
trace(doLater() is there);
this.loaderToDupe.doLater(this.loaderToDupe, whatToDo);
this.onEnterFrame = undefined;
} else {
trace(doLater() isn't there yet, so wait);
}
};
It assumes an MC, loaderContainer, with a Loader inside, loaderToDupe and an
image to load, dupe_loader.jpg.
If anyone has any thoughts on this I'd still like to hear them.

it, a button click for example, the Loader works fine.
I can think of two solutions, but I'm not too sure about them.
1. Set an interval to give the Loader time to get ready and then set the
properties.
2. Do the duping, check using an onEnterFrame to see if the nested Loaders
properties' exist and then set them.
The problem with 1 is, how long is long enough?
The problem with 2 is, will I get away with checking one property or will I
have to check them all? For example, I can check to see that contentPath is
difined, but what if load() isn't?
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
I suppose another question is, how can you tell if a component if fully
initialised and ready to use?
Thanks.
Adrian

[Flashcoders] Problems with Flash Plugin Switcher 2.1.0
I'm just about to install Flash Plugin Switcher 2.1.0 and wondered if this has caused any problems for anyone. I'm coming to the end of a project and I don't fancy trying to fix player issues when I should be working :O) Oh and does it work as nicely as it sounds? Thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] Converting amp; in a URL?
Are you outputting these URLs or using them in getURL()?
That should work in getURL(). But if you're outputting them, one way to
convert them is to use HTML text fields.
Or, if you can't change the text fields, try this:
str = Sometext with an amp; in.;
function convert(str, from, to) {
return str.split(from).join(to);
}
trace(convert(str, amp;, ));

Subject: [Flashcoders] Converting amp; in a URL?
Hi list,
does ActionScript have any facilities to convert special characters like
amp; into just ? I have one Flash movie that reads URLs from an RDF file
where all URLs are written with amp; inside the adress. My client would
like these special chars to be converted to ''. Does Flash has anything to
do that automatically (haven't found anything so far) or do I have to write
my own convert method?
Thanks for help,
Sascha

RE: [Flashcoders] populating Text Fields in nested Array
I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up.
If that is the case, use the string reference to fill the array up
c.createTextField(sctnNmTxt+sctnNmTxt_d, sctnNmTxt_d, sctnNmTxt_x,
sctnNmTxt_y, sctnNmTxt_w, sctnNmTxt_h);
sctnNm_array[1] = c[sctnNmTxt+sctnNmTxt_d];
I think.

Unless your using Flash8, createTextField doesn't return a reference. You
might be dealing with a bunch of undefined elements in your array
